False Hair and Headaches.

A member of the medical profession
is credited with the statement. says
The NeD York Graphic, that the
practice of physicians has been con-
siderably diminished within the past
few years by certain change in femin-
inc fashions. The change referred to
is in the matter of wearing false hair.
Although it is still worn to considera-
bic extent the custom of loading down
the head with n heavy mass of false
coils and braids is thing of the past,
and those who still resort to the habit
indulge in this form of Identification"
to a very moderate extent. contining
their capillary increment chiefly to the
frizzes and bangs of airy lightness that
wave about their foreheada, and upon
The slightest provocation shed them
selves in generous profusion over the

the general prevalence of severe head
aches, pains in the neck, weak eyes.
scalp affections, and dozen other
feminine complaints were directly
traceable to the custom referred to.
Now they have for the most part disap.
peared, and authorities say that we arc
to have a healthier and more robust
race of women in the future. 1t is re-
marked, however. that the loss of
practice resulting from this change of
fashion to the medical profession has
been partially compensated by the in
creased use of cosmetics and the evils
resulting therefrom. Thus, as far as
actual gain is concerned, it proves to
be six of one and half q dozen of the
other, and shows that the age of folly
is by no means yet at an end.

Why Writing Paper is Cheap.

Passing by stationer's window a
journal reporter saw therein the an
nouncement, 1920 sheets of this note
paper for 90 cents" Stepping inside,
the dealer, in answer to the reporter S
queries, said: Writing paper is now
cheaper in this country than ever it
was. Manufacturers have learned
how to work into it the maximum of
wood pulp and the minimum of rag.
There are writing papers made now
that we can buy at % cents ream-
three-pound paper. We don't keep it,
though it has Il sale in country towns.
1t is nothing but ordinarily good news
paper calendered
ain 1873, when the panic came, all
the paper mills were running on me-
dium grades of paper which was then
the best made in this country. The
panic destroyed the market for this
grade of paper, as there was glut.
Previous to this time the finest papers
were all imported. I he demand for
imported papers continued Our
mills kept Il number Of their best
workmen and began experimenting on
the better grades of paper When the
panic came there was little paper in our
showcases that was not made in Ire
land, England, or France. Now there
isn't nickels worth of imported pa
per in these eases. American work
men soon got to make as good or even
better papers than were made abroad
When people nowadays hold up II pa
per to see the water-mark they need
not think because it shows foreign
name that it is imported. 1t is as easy
to put such a water mark there by
American as by foreign manufacturers.
and our paper is better in quality than
the foreign. and sold at half the price.
The cheapest papers, the wood
pulps, have no fiber and no strength.
Besides, with the wood pulp is used
mere or less clay. Wood pulp is
bleached with chemicals, and when
such paper gets old it becomes yellow.
Some of the clay and wood papers, if
immersed in water, will disolve, leav-
ing nothing but pulp. The cheap pa
pcrs must have hard finish to be
written upon. Papers with a rough
finish must be of linen stock or writ
ing upon them would be like writing
upon blotting paper. The best paper
is made from pure linen. Much OF it
is supplied by satisfactory cuttings.
Every time linen is washed some of the
strength OF the fiber is destroyed; for
that reason the best paper requires
new linen. '-IndtanapotiS Journal

Watching a Bear Hunt in a Mirror.


In 1S45, as John Mimic had to 90 up
the Columbia river, he took passage
with an Indian chief who had some-
thing of a retinue There was a sub
chief who looked after things of minor
Importance, and Il duslly maiden. to
whom old Pu-Pu Mox-Mox. who was
then a great chief and was destined
later to fall in battle in command of the
combined forces of the inland empire,
showed very devoted attention. There
were also sevaral slaves. who drove
the canoes with their paddles for
motive power. Somewhere on the
grand river, when among the ranges
that tower above Cape Horn, Mimic
noticed that the Indians acted very sin
gularly and rather suspiciously. They
stopped the canoes and looked down in
the water intently Then two slaves
and sub-chief got into the smaller
canoe and started to cross the river.
Suddenly Mimic dropped on it," and
saw what the Indians saw. it was one
of those beautiful transparent DAYS
when the air and water are as clear rs
crystal. The sun of autumn either had
not risen so as to reach the deep canon
with its rays, or had dropped behind
tho western heights. Anyway, these
heights were reflected so perfectly on
the surface of the river that the In
dians had watched the mountain sides
as they padded along. The cause of
their strange action was seeing bear
on high ridge across the river from
them eating berries. The two slaves
took the fusees and crossed the river to
attack. They climbed the bluff. took
aim, fired, missed. and the bear ran
away-hc was not hurt. All this Minto
saw on the river surface without strain
ing his eyes to the mountains summit

For two is company, three's a crowd,
SO goodbye, Lizy Jane"

WARREN'S TRAINING.
The Care Necessary to Get a Pu-
gilist in Perfect Condition.

Special to the Globe.
LA CROSSE, Wis, May 23.-TOmmy
Warren. the featherweight champion of
the world, who is to meet DanfOrth
Monday next in a fifteen-round contest,
is in active training here, and keeps
himself i'll the pink of condition. A
representative of the GLOBE met him
to-day returning from his morning rum
He walked into the International hotel
in Il nervy sort Of way that showed his
morning exercise had given him an APP
petite for his breakfast and put him In
gOOdscOnditiOn for the day. Your CORE
spondent and Warren sat down to break
fast together, and during the meal the
conversation ran Oh the subject of his
course OF training. Warren knows how
to keep himself in physical health and
train the muscles for quickneSS, strength
and endurance.
He arises at o'clock and is
well rubbed down with Turkish towels
as soon as he gets out of bed. He then
takes brisk walk, lasting all hour. He
then returns to his hotel and takes
breakfast of Oat meal, couple of NUT
ton chops, dry toast and cup Of tea.
He remains at the table about half an
hour, after which he lounges about the
reading-rOom looking over the morning
papers and answering correspondence,
requiring about an hours time. He
then feels fresh and ready for the regu-
lar training walk" Dressing himself
in suit of heavy fiannelS, called by the
profession, sweaters, he leaves the hotel
for ten-mile walk-that is, he walks
out in the country ten miles and runs
most of the way back. By this time he
is perspiring freely and is pretty well
winded. He is met about half mile
out of town by his assistant, who runs
in with him. He is then rubbed down with
Turkish towels and given good hand
rubbing with alcohol. The time con-
Sumed by the walk is about two hours,
and by the rubbing one hour, and by
the time he is dressed he is ready for
dinner, which consists Of rare roast
beef, boiled potatoes and stale bread,
washed down with bottle of Bass
ale. All pastry or sweets of any nature
is discarded. After dinner he rests
until about o'clock, when he is ready
to punch the bag for an hour and half.
This exercise is taken i'll White Be..v-
er's. private gymnasium, where he
swings the; clubs and lifts the dumb
bells. When this exercise is completed
he is sweating very freely, and he then
jumps into cold sea-salt water bath,
after which he is again rubbed down well
with Turkish towels and alcohol, which
prevents taking cold. 1t is now about
o'clock in the afternoon, and he strolls
leisurely about until supper time
He takes his supper promptly
at half-past six. This meal
consists of a rare beef steak, soft
boiled egg, dry toast, baked potatoes,
and cup of tea. Warren does not
allow himself to eat any greasy sub
stance or to drink coffee After supper
he is seen about the city, strolling about
idly, faultlessly dressed in the height of
good taste, looking anything else than
the athlete he is, showing no WEAKNESS
nor traces of the days work. He re-
tires to his room at o'clock and is
called in the morning at o'clock to go
through the same regime.

ined.
Savannah News.
A young Georgian has come to grief
in New York on account of an act which
is not without parallel. 1t seems that
he had spent some years as the editor of
a country weekly before he went to
New York, and his tastes were all in
the direction of journalism. He
tried to obtain work in the office
of several New York journals, but
failed. Determined that he would not
be forced to seek occupation outside of
journalism, he established a cOrrespon-
dence bureau and contracted with a
number of Western and Southern week
lies to send them letters of more or less
interest for the amusement and instruc-
ton of their subscribers. His bureau
was success, for within two months
after he established it, his weekly in
come exceeded S75. Unfortunately he
lacked discretion, and the result was
that he found it necessary to close his
journalistic career rather hurrledly.
On Wall street one day he heard a
broker tell another that well-knOwn
banker had gone to Canada. Without
making Inquiries as to the cause of the
bankers Journey, the enterprlslng head
of the correspondence bureau fastened
to his Office and wrote sensational let
ter, in which he alleged that the banker
had gone to Canada, carrying a large
sum of money belonging to other peo-
pie. The letter was widely circulated
in the West and South, and
some of the weeklies that printed
it contained editorial concentrations
of the banker. A few weeks
later the proprietorS CT the weeklies that
printed the letter were astonished by
notices that suits had been begun
against them by the banker for damages
on account of gross libel against him.
Inquiry developed that while he had
gone to Canada he had gone merely to
pay hurried visit to his wife and chill
dren, who were spending a few weeks
in Montreal. The proprietOrS of the
weelllies wrote indignant letters to the
head of the correspondence bureau, and,
after thinking over the matter few
hours, he wisely concluded to fly to
Texas, or to some other region remote
from New York.
